Can I add authentication information to a Windows Azure Scheduler job?

Question

I'm going to create a Windows Azure Scheduler Job that will make a RESTful call to a POSTresource at intervals. This part is simple, except that the URI is secure and requires credentials Basic Authentication.

Using the Azure Management Portal (or see using: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/azure/dn495651.aspx ) I don’t see anywhere to add credentials Basic Authenticationor even custom header values.

Can I add credentials to a customized Azure Scheduled Job call HTTP/HTTPS, or can the scheduler not handle this ability?

Answer 1

It supports Basic Auth. After creating, go to the "tasks", click on the task that you want to add basic auth. There are 2 text fields for entering a username and password.
